First of all, I'm confused by your use of "hooked up"-- "we hooked up one day (when he was going out with his girlfriend)". In my little world, hooked up could mean anything from getting together for a friendly game of Parcheesi to getting together and gettin busy. So, what did you do? Let's assume you did something between making out and having sex. Why did you do it while he had a girlfriend?
I'm also confused about why you want to date this guy. The only thing I know about him is he cheated on his girlfriend and recently spent time in jail. Not really a big commercial for a potential love match. I never understand why people want to couple up with someone who cheated on their girlfriend or boyfriend to be with them. This person is SO going to cheat on you, too.
You just got out of a bad relationship? You may want to hold off on jumping into another one, and figure out why you're picking these guys in the first place. I think you are smart for wanting to take a break from dating for now. [ harvesterofhearts's advice column | Ask harvesterofhearts A Question ]
